Sheng Anâning wanted to be the maid of honor?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was uncomfortable enough to think of that woman attending their wedding ceremony. If she were to become her maid of honor, wouldnât there be a riot?
To be honest, Su Wan didnât want Sheng Anâning to attend her wedding ceremony. Her wedding was such a beautiful day of her life.
However, the last time the media interviewed Sheng Anâning at the hospital, a reporter had asked her if she would appear at the wedding on first June.
Sheng Anâning had said that her sister-in-law had long invited her. Even if she was injured, she would not be absent.
Sheng Anâning had used Su Wanâs name, as well as apologized and praised Su Wan for putting the past behind them and inviting her to the wedding ceremony.
The interview was a live broadcast. When Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng knew about it, they were shocked by Sheng Anâningâs thick skin.
Moreover, when Su Wan knew about it, she knew that it had to be this way!
She couldnât do something that would hurt both Sheng Anâning and herself in front of the media, could she?
Thinking of the events of the past few days, Su Wan was more and more unhappy. She pursed her lips and her clear eyes instantly sank.
The atmosphere became awkward. When Luo Xiuxiu heard silence on the other end of the phone, she couldnât help but continue to probe.
âWan, I know how Anâning has caused lots of trouble for both of you recently but she has really figured things out. She didnât mean to put both of you in a difficult position but her wanting to be the maid-of-honor is to fulfill a wish.
âMoreover, there was a misunderstanding between the two of you several days ago. Anâning wants to use the opportunity of being your maid-of-honor to clear the rumors of your discord with her.â
When Luo Xiuxiu spoke, she felt she was in a dilemma. She had seen Sheng Anâning grow since she was young and it was impossible for her to believe that Sheng Anâning would do such vicious thing.
Moreover, when she went to The City Hospital of S City to see Sheng Anâning, it was her first time seeing Sheng Anâning cry so miserably and that teary look made her heart ache.
Luo Xiuxiu had only casually mentioned that she didnât know who to choose as the maid-of-honor and Sheng Anâning volunteered. Of course, Luo Xiuxiu knew that the relationship between Sheng Anâning and her grandson and granddaughter-in-law was stiff.
However, seeing Sheng Anâning spending the whole afternoon trying to convince her with teary eyes, Luo Xiuxiuâs heart softened and said she would try.
When Luo Xiuxiuâs words entered Su Wanâs ears, she narrowed her eyes.
Sheng Anâning did not mean to put them in a difficult position but wanted to fulfill a wish?
If Sheng Anâning had not done the things to harm her, Su Wan would probably still have believed her but now, she would definitely not believe a single word Sheng Anâning uttered!
Su Wan looked down and her voice was calm.
âGrandmother, we really donât want to trouble Ms. Sheng. She has just cut her wrist a few days ago and sheâs not in the best health. If she were to accompany us to receive the guests, she might not be able to bear it. It wouldnât be good if she faints.â
Su Wan had a good idea of what Sheng Anâning could do and fainting on the spot was considered light.
What if Sheng Anâning suddenly teared and snatched the groom during the wedding march? That would make her and Jiang Xuechengâs wedding the biggest laughing stock in history!
When Luo Xiuxiu heard Su Wan addressing Sheng Anâning as Ms. Sheng, she could hear the hidden tone of distance in Su Wan although her tone was calm.
Luo Xiuxiu was instantly distressed. She had not expected Su Wan to be so firm without any room for negotiation.
Didnât Anâning say Su Wan had personally invited her to attend their wedding ceremony?
Why did it seem that the relationship between them was still tense?
Luo Xiuxiu felt helpless. âBut in this case, there isnât a candidate for the maid-of-honor.â
Su Wan was silent for a while and suddenly a candidate appeared in her mind.
âGrandmother, Iâve suddenly remembered that I have a cousin named Xie Xuan on my maternal grandfatherâs side. She has just turned eighteen this year and sheâs pretty. Why donât we get her to be the maid-of-honor?â
Before Su Wan had gone abroad, she had played with this little cousin of hers. Moreover, the Xie family, being a family of scholars, had always been strict with their daughterâs discipline.
Although Xie Xuan was not good at everything, she was smart.
Seeing that Su Wan had made her choice, Luo Xiuxiu stopped recommending Sheng Anâning. All she could do was to nod and agree.
âAlright then, after I filter the guest list, Iâll send to you again.â

After Su Wan ended the call, the load in her mind had not been put down.
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head slightly and put his head on Su Wanâs shoulder. âWhat are you thinking about that is making you look so worried?
Su Wan sighed and reached out to touch Jiang Xuechengâs brows. Jiang Xuechengâs eyebrows were good-looking. Coupled with his shining eyes, he looked handsome, graceful, and full of righteousness.
âIâve just declined Sheng Anâningâs request to be the maid-of-honor. I feel that this girl is too restless and Iâm afraid she will cause trouble during our wedding ceremony.â
Jiang Xuecheng wrapped his arms around Su Wanâs shoulders and his thin lips came near Su Wan. âIf you donât like it, donât allow her to attend.â
The low and deep male voice rang in her ears and it was seductive.
Su Wan looked up and shook her head disappointedly.
âShe told the media Iâve invited her to attend the wedding and praised me for being liberal and virtuous. If Sheng Anâning doesnât show up on that day, am I not the evil person?â
âYou think too much.â
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng gave a low laugh.
He tapped Su Wanâs forehead softly and then recollected himself.
âDonât worry. Since she must attend and sheâs injured, Iâll get three female bodyguards to watch over her. If she were to do something bad, weâll just give her a tube of anesthesia and nothing will happen.â
In fact, Sheng Anâning wouldnât be able to bear with just one bodyguard but to be safe, it would be better to find a few more to surround her so she wouldnât stir up trouble.
Su Wan nodded in agreement. She felt it was a good idea.
Su Wan tilted her face slightly and met Jiang Xuechengâs eyes.
âWhere are we going to have our wedding photo shoot?â
The wedding ceremony had not been held and honeymoon seemed so far away. Su Wan could leave these aside for the moment but their wedding photo shoot was on Saturday and Jiang Xuecheng had not informed her of anything. It was not a nice feeling.
Jiang Xuecheng tapped her nose and had an enchanting smile on his face.
âWhatâs the hurry? Youâll know in two days.â
Su Wan pouted and thought that Jiang Xuecheng really knew how to keep her in the dark.
âHave you not heard that curiosity kills the cat?â
Jiang Xuecheng darted a side glance at Su Wan. âBut a cat has nine lives.â
Upon hearing this, Su Wan was speechless and admitted defeat silently.
***
Under Su Wanâs yearning, Saturday was finally here.
Su Wan had specially set an alarm. It was rare that she woke up earlier than Jiang Xuecheng. As soon as she woke up, she quickly got ready.
Su Wan urged Jiang Xuecheng to clean himself quickly and Jiang Xuecheng who was still sleepy saw how much Su Wan looked forward to todayâs wedding photo shoot. He saluted her!
After both of them finished their breakfast, Jiang Xuecheng spoke faintly.
âItâs almost time to go out. Bring your Fengqiwu along.â
